DYNO DAY #2

Hey Guys,

Firstly I would like to thank you all for attending the JEM Dyno Day. It was such a pleasure to meet most of you and finally put a face to the name. I was so pleased with everyone's patients, understanding and excellent conduct where in fact J.E.M commented on how happy they were from all the entries as well as spectators. I sincerely hope you all had an enjoyable day, made some new friends as well as now know where to go for all your tuning and mechanical needs!

I have known Adam (Tuner/owner) at J.E.M for quite a few years now and classify him as a good friend rather then an acquaintance. He has always provided a high level of service, honesty and excellent workmanship has yet to be surpassed. I organized the first Dyno Day for J.E.M back in Feb 2007 when Adam was still located in Moorebank. A couple of months ago I visited Adam to find that he has EXPANDED the workshop to include all mechanical needs as well as an amazingly professional setup, at this point i thought to myself "We need a dyno day!"

So did i get out of it? Well I was able to organize a fun filled social day which gave everyone who came to meet, mingle and get to know others from the forums as well as get their car dyno'ed and assessed by one of Australia's leading tuners at a discounted price.

Please feel free to comment any feedback as well as post Photos & Vids from today's Dyno Day and thank you all once again for attending.

P.S If anyone has extensive video footage of today (Cars, Dyno runs, spectators .etc.) please PM me

Great day out, managed to pull 181.2rwkw out of my r33 gtst with only turbo-back exhaust, front mount and pod, was shocked when i saw the read out and it managed to keep pulling to 7000rpm. using standard boost solenoid which did spike to 9psi and held dead flat to red line.

Was interesting how nice everyone was who actually owned a turbo and yet all the honda crew stuck to themselves and if I remember correctly, were hiding around the corner haha

Lol I remember that. They were a bit out-numbered though.

Was a good day out, thanks to sarkis for organising it all. Was good to meet you in person. Also I met ur cousin with the 20v and had a good chat.

The only gripe I had about the day was that the "first in first served" thing didnt really happen. I was there round 10am and think my car got dynoed at 5ish. Dunno what happened there.

Otherwise was a great day ;) Congrats to the guy in the 33 that got 308atw. Those 2 crazy S13's were just chasin ur tail!

Thanks for the positive feedback guys, glad you all enjoyed the day and it was real nice to meet you all.

in the beginning the "first in first served" structure worked well however as the day went on many entries were in a rush to get to work/family commitments and we tried as best as possible to re-arrange the order to keep as many people happy as possible. Not to mention a few cars were waiting for the Zoom Mag photographer who arrived at 2pm to get their cars in the magazine.

All in all it was a great event with lots of laughs as well as great cars. Thank you too all who participated and stay tuned for J.E.M Dyno Day #3 in 2009.

Regards,

Sarkis

Just wanna say you did a great job sarkis,

as much as i hate to say it, the turn over time for cars was alot slower than i had intially anticipated.

anyways good job guys at JEM.

regards

steve

Thanks Steve, im glad you had a good time.

In regards to the turn over time, we started off with 5 - 6 cars an hour however due to some entries needing to leave early due to work and other commitments we tried to organize the cars as best as possible to keep everyone happy. Additionally some high power cars wanted to get on at 2pm for the Zoom magazine photographer which also caused a few cars to be pushed back... Not to mention the problems we had with that Evo. Adam also wanted to take is time with each car and owner to give them feedback at a personal level as well as to make sure each car is safe.

All in all it was a great day and I would like to commend the boys at J.E.M for their efforts.

Regards,

Sarkis

yeah i got there right at 10 aswell, i was number 16 but didn't get on the dyno till 4:20..... was thrilled when my baby got on lol

but next time i do think it should stay first in first served, if you have other appointments then you miss out, thats what lifes about,,,, should't really have your cake and eat it aswell,,,, and really if somebody did have to do something in the morning but were dieng to get a dyno run they should have been there right at 9am to get dynoed and not come in at number 28 and so on and expect to cut inline, not really cool....

just something to keep in mind for next time i guess

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.
